Today was the day. One way or another, everything would be different after this.
I stayed up all night writing my personal thoughts and feelings to Leo. I got everything off of my chest and poured my soul out to him in this letter. I even tried to make my hand writing legible, which I'll have you know was no easy task. I gathered all of my confidence and courage, and I decided to give Leo this letter.
Midday, Leo and I were in Bunker Nine. I read him The Odyssey while he worked on the dubstep soundboard for the Argo II. Why did a warship need a dubstep soundboard? It didn't. Leo and I were joking around one day when his light bulb went off and he decided to build one as one of the ship's controls. I'll give Leo this: once he had an idea, he was determined to see it through to fruition. He was determined. It was one of the things I admired about him.
Anyway, I stopped at the part where Odysseus got stranded on Calypso's Island when I decided it was now or never.
I folded the note into perfectly constructed paper airplane and sailed it towards Leo head.
"Heads up!" I said.
Leo snapped out of his work in time to see the plane flying towards his face. He grabbed at the note with a fiery hand. It instantly burst into flames and disintegrated.
I stared at what was once a note that contained my personal feelings; my jaw dropped in disbelief.
Leo rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. "Ouch. Sorry about that, Kai. Cool paper plane, though."
I continued to stare at the pile of ashes. My bottom lip quivered a bit.
"Geez, Kai. It's not that big a deal. You can just make another one."
I dropped my head on the table, feeling utterly defeated. "I quit," I moaned.
"Kai," Leo said, poking me with a socket wrench. "You're freaking me out… more so than usual."
A/N: Kai clearly shouldn't get her hopes up.
This may mark the end for Bunker Days. I'm not sure, we'll have to wait and see. There's one more story to be told before I get to part three. Hard to believe its almost been a year since part two. I feel as though I've been slacking on it. But I won't end Kai's story until it's done.
